Jaisalmer’s sandstone fort is still lived in. Wander Jain temples, havelis and narrow lanes, then head to Sam or Khuri for dunes at sunset.

A living fort in the Thar

Patwon ki Haveli and Gadisar Lake are easy city stops. Choose camps that manage waste and treat camels well—desert tourism should not damage the dunes.

Winter nights are cold; pack layers. A 3-night stay is enough for fort, havelis and one desert evening.

PP Tour packages include private jeeps, folk music dinners and warm winter bedding at desert camps.

Quick tips

• November–February is best
• Avoid mid-day dune walks in summer
• Carry a scarf for sand and sun
